Hi Jonas, Thank you for your reply. My temps are 78 water and about 70-75 air. I have had Rosey Reds in with him the whole time. But they seem too fast for him to catch. he has tried many times. Just fails each time. lol The breeder I bought him from suggested the gold fish as they are slower. Though once gone, I plan to try just the rosys again. He is a little pig. I was just worried because from what I could read on www.crocodilian.com It says they eat I think it was 3-4 times a week... and this guy eats every day. And doesn't seem satisfied after his meal. Though finaly last night, after the pinky mouse, and goldfish, he and possibly a second goldfish (am pretty sure he got another) he finaly decided to take it easy. His belly is huge today. He just loves stalking food and searching the banks for food items. He loves the mealworms and gulped down his pinky mouse. I have not given him crickets yet, but have some for him, once his belly isn't so swollen looking. lol I just worry I will over feed this guy, as he seems to want to eat eat eat and not stop. And I can't seem to find anything on the subject. And on that website listed it says 3-4 times a week for a baby... while he is hungry daily. I don't mind feeding him daily. I love watching him eat. Just don't want to hurt him by over feeding, if that is possible.
